Everyone acting like iPhones and mainstream Android phones become e-waste after 3 years is just making specious arguments.

Why does the average phone user know more about phone batteries and replacing them than all of these commenters acting like iPhones are becoming e-waste after a couple years?

I think I know more people with 4-6 year old iPhones than with an iPhone 17.

Apple stores will replace the battery for you for a very reasonable fee and the phone will carry on for many years more. This is a common thing to do and you can find battery replacement services for popular Android phones too.
